Are there health benefits of a detox diet?

What are the health benefits of a detox diet?  I get this question a lot.  Here's the short answer:
"Detoxification, or detox, diets are touted by many as a way to remove "toxins" from the body. This practice stems from the belief that the food you consume contains a range of harmful substances, which accumulate in your body, causing fatigue, headaches, nausea and even disease. But there's no evidence that this is true or that detox diets have any health benefits. Also, in some cases, detox diets can have harmful side effects."
This is article is well versed, including information about what a detoxification diet is.  Read the rest of the article from MayoClinic.com:
